About Franco Tartaglia
Demand response dispatch operator at CPower, covering real-time ancillary services and emergency dispatch across all six major North American ISOs: PJM, ERCOT, NYISO, MISO, CAISO, and ISO-NE. Joined through the CPower acquisition in January 2026. The seat sits at the intersection of grid operations and market mechanics — synchronized reserves, frequency regulation, load management, and emergency dispatch executed against live ISO signals. Day-to-day work involves monitoring real-time telemetry for ERCOT Load Resource faults, NYISO DER performance, and PJM frequency and synchronized reserve events, then executing dispatch either automatically or manually through internal platforms. Bid management and market submissions are handled through dedicated systems, and real-time validation happens against one-minute metered data across a portfolio of commercial and industrial customer sites spanning all six major North American ISOs. Outside the desk, I spend my time on the quantitative side of the power markets — building Python tools for operational and portfolio analysis, working through the foundational texts on options and energy derivatives, and trying to understand the connections between physical grid constraints and commercial market outcomes. MSc Finance. Based in the Baltimore/DC area.
